Reply to This game takes too long? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

i think the big issue is that it is more of a rts than a 4x. Sins simply does not have enogh depth to be a 4x, yet it is too slow and mindless to be a rts. where does that leave us? i do a 10 hour civ game on sitting if i have nothing to do that weekend, and love it. however, i cringe at the thought taking a few hours playing Sins. the game is little more than a slow plodding rts. I'd even say C&C3 has more strategy in it than Sins (yes stratagy, not tactics) and we al

[quote]A ends up getting the upper hand, and B fleet takesheavy damage. If the upkeep was ship based instead of income based, it would allow B to rebuild (because his upkeep would have decreased a lot). However, under the current system, B still pays 75% of his income for a fleet he doesn't have anymore, and gets basically zero chance of coming back. A can take many of his planets while he builds up some fleet, and A becomes bigger and B smaller than they would have without the fixe

It seems to be that Sins has taken on the concept of "perpetual comeback" rather than the more often seen "slippery slope" design. the inherint problem with this is that the "perpetual comback" theory works much better in fast paced lightning round style action games. In Sins it results in the larger empire not having a significant advantage over its opponents, in fact the larger empire is actually more vunerable than his opponents, bar opportune choke points or bad planet randomizat
